Faxing can be a major pain but, like laundry, it’s a necessary evil that needs to be done right. And, unlike that creepy guy on 31st Street, the only thing we expose is a straightforward faxing API. How straightforward? You can use this code to send a fax right now (if you put in API credentials):
curl https://api.phaxio.com/v2/faxes \
-u 'API_KEY:API_SECRET' \
-F 'to=A_PHONE_NUMBER' \
-F 'file=@/path/to/a/supported/fi
What type of application might need faxing capabilities? Any app servicing the healthcare, finance, document management, government, and logistics industries to name a few. Need to send in a form somewhere? You can definitely send it via fax. Want to request your medical records? The hospital will accept a fax request. Want to order a pizza? You can do so by fax. You get the idea.
